Hi,
I'm trying to convert a program I wrote in AppGameKit Tier 1 to work in Tier 2 using Microsoft VC++. As of right now, when I try to build, I get a bunch of errors from the libraries (not my code, but the code provided with AGK). Here's a partial list:

1>c:\agk\project1\csprite.h(53): error C3861: 'memset': identifier not found

I'm stumped, and I'm sure I'm missing something super-simple. Does anybody have any ideas?

Which version of VS are you using?

If I had to guess, VS can't find the AGKWindows.lib which means it hasn't been linked correctly. Check your Linker settings, Additional Library Dependencies. If it doesn't appear there then you'll have to go browsing for it. You should be able to find it in AGK\IDE]\platform\Windows\Lib\

If the compiler can't find the memset function, he has a bigger problem. That's a core C function, not something AppGameKit implements.

Good point! All of the headers included via the core.cpp and template.cpp should cover everything so he could be missing one of those files. I didn't have to include anything extra when setting up the templates.

@ABlantzer, are you using the templates or creating a project from scratch?

I created an "empty project" and added files to it.

Most of my experience is in Perl, PHP and other scripting languages, so I'm really new to setting up a compiler (it's been many, many years since I did anything with C, and that was in school).

Would anybody have a link to a tutorial on how to properly configure a project in VS? (Btw, I use VS 2010 Express)

That would be it.


Right here. Third video down.

Thanks! For noobs like myself reading this thread in the future, here's how I fixed the issue: AppGameKit comes with templates for Visual Studio. They're in Program Files (x86) -> AppGameKit -> IDE -> templates. What I did was make a copy of the template in My Documents, rename it to the name of my project, and then open that up in VS and proceed to add my code to template.cpp.

There's probably a better way to do this, but it worked.

I'm still having issues right now, but I think that's a problem with my code, not anything in the setup.

Everyone i think do like this, i always use to copy the template and change it for a new project.
